Apply to UNLV

Step 1

Visit the UNLV admissions website to apply for admission. (The $60 application fee is not VA funded) If you have fewer than 24 college credits, apply as a freshman. If you have more than 24 college credits, apply as a transfer student. Do not include any military transcript credit until accepted by the UNLV evaluation process.

Step 3

Learn about residency for tuition purposes. If you did not go to high school in Nevada, you will automatically be listed as an out-of-state student when you apply. If you meet requirements for establishing residency, you can avoid these out-of-state charges. Check the residency application to be sure you meet in-state criteria.

Step 4

Determine your eligibility and apply for your benefit from the VA. To apply for your education benefit, visit the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs website. You will receive a VA Certificate of Eligibility if approved.

Step 5

Visit UNLV’s VA Certifying Official’s website to get a detailed checklist for your chapter of benefits. Complete all checklist tasks according to the applicable chapter of your VA Education Benefits based on your situation.
